Has anyone had any dealings with http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Watches2u-Factory-Outlet?
There seems to be genuine massive savings to be made, and the feedback is good. Or is it one of those "too good to be true" deals?
Any opinions welcome.

Why does it all remind me of the stuff you'd see on BidUp.TV and the like?
RRP £1500 but yours for £50!!

It's just a load of watches with made up designer names. The manufacturer's recommended price means squat.

Krug Baumen... There is a big investigation into them. basically the produce very poor quality watches and shove a huge RRP on them and then they are sold by aload of shoddy businesses. Do a google. http://www.ureader.co.uk/message/345977.aspx

The original 1960s version in good condition tends to fetch a little bit more than the reissue even though the watches themselves are pretty much identical.
Its also referred to as the Steve McQueen tag as he wore one in Le Mans. Might have been created specifically for this.
Silverback on here used to have one I think.

I got one of these watches about 4 years ago, still going strong and I wear it every day. Very nice watch and I have never had any problems with it. Hubby has one from this crowd too, and again, no problems with it at all.
